– The adventures of a solo round the world cyclist –

Day 109 (Australia’s Mid West Coast)

I am having one of those days where I question what I’m doing with my life. Is this really the thing that will make me happiest at the moment? I have really liked riding with Paula, but one week is enough for her and she has decided not to ride any further. I am realising that it might be impossible for someone to become a part of the adventure. I have owned this adventure for three years already – in my guts, in my dreams, in my life plan. When faced with the challenges of cycle-touring, it is this kind of passion and commitment that gets you through. One week of touring is not enough for this passion develop if it wasn’t really there to begin with. I am not entirely sure if I would be happy riding with someone else anyway. I don’t really know what to think. All I know is that after tomorrow I’ll be alone again.

Welcome to my diary!

In pursuit of a dream, I left my home in Western Australia and began cycling around the world. I write in my diary every night so that one day I can look back on my journey and relive those precious moments I would otherwise not remember. What motivates me to keep up a daily diary?
